As far as u guys WILL see, this chap would be like once Unohana's squad reached Aizen's place...but it's still fanfic...so it'd NOT turn out that good...
DISCLAIMER: i do NOT own Bleach characters or whatever thing related to them that i'd put in this story...
CHAPTER 2: Lame Faith
Like the old times... Soifon thought.
It's all about being loyal and firm. Everything is just some bit of business...business that no one would actually care about...business that only sticking to the rules and following orders can save you...well, whatever...I don't believe that anyone from Kurosaki Ichigo's group is good enough to be responsible for what happened. Now, the news are already spreading all throughout Seireitei. Unohana...that Unohana...they're lucky to have her right now...but the back-ups...
She sat on her sofa, her head bent low as if guilty of a crime she hasn't actually committed. But she knew everything all along. Better, to the least of what she currently knows. She can't let go of the events occurring in Aizen's place. She definitely knows that a group full of "forever fighting" people would be the best way to save the whole bunch of humans still struggling to save their traitor for a friend. It was the usual problem when you don't know the enemy well and if you aren't that skilled yet. But Ichigo would definitely be able to defeat her for his strange abilities is the only living reason for him to defeat anyone who tries to hurt him or his friends...especially Rukia, Sado, Orihime, and even that freak Ishida...and some more people she can't even remember.
The 2nd Division would be good enough to go...but there still aren't any signs for them to be able to go...she doesn't know a thing...and that's what makes her more confused than what she was before the news of Sado's failure.
"Like nobody would actually care about it..."
Yamamoto walked past her, his beard almost polishing the floor, talking to a man with a wolf-like face.
"Kaname Tousen...wouldn't care about anything right now." The other said.
Soifon bent her head a little more as they stopped right in front of her and faced each other.
Yamamoto hit the stone floor with his cane and it gave a rather willow effect. "Kaname still doesn't understand what the word 'justice' means...and that's because Aizen managed to gain his trust."
"Tousen never became a friend of Aizen!!!!"
"You might actually say that as 'Tousen never became a fiend of Aizen'."
Komamura seemed to have completely lost his temper because he roared a bit softly, turned to his heel and left his conversationist. His rather gray-blue face became quite pale that Soifon have noticed it even if she wasn't looking at him.
"Hmmmmm..." Yamamoto stood straight then left for the door.
So she was left all alone again.
"Since when did Komamura ever walked out from his conversations with Yamamoto???" She murmured out loud.
Hmphnfk! Komamura, being disrespectful...but if he said foul words in front of Yamamoto, it would've gone bad.
She stood up, and brushed away the leaves of the oak tree from her shoulders, still and gentle. Looking up, she saw something that caught her eye. It was sparkling and it shimmered like a golden piece of glitter under the bright rays of the sun. Putting a finger on top of her brows in salute form, she finally understood what it really was. It wasn't the sun that caused to be like that, but the golden leaf was luminous itself. Under the shade of the oak, it flew down gently, carried by the breeze to the cold stone floor, as if a feather falling from the sky, brought by the Northern winds. And it landed without a sound. The effect of its long lost intimacy and lack of faith that it could have traveled farther from where it was first created. Soifon walked to it and knelt right beside it.
"We meet, little golden leaf..." she whispered to it, calmly.
Around her, the flowers gracefully danced to the wind, torn by different means. Either be pulled off by a lover or a kid that can barely wait to smell its freshness...or wither itself...just like the strange leaf that fell from the old oak. It really wasn't auburn or golden brown...it was shimmering gold like the sun in the afternoon sky. And that...
...is what makes it special.
Maybe that's the reason that she was brought by Yoruichi Shihon to Seireitei. Because she wasn't just special, but because she'd be the only one in her whole family who'd be able to finish dangerous missions...and that she was better than her brothers...much better that she's survive unlike them...much better because she definitely knows how to do things on an empty basis.
But she was torn between grief and fury on the loss of her brothers. They were her brothers after all...and they protected her the best way they can, no matter how foolish they were. And they'll always be a part of her. If it weren't for them, she wouldn't be who she is now...she wouldn't have learned how to become one of the strongest shinigamis...and reach her current status in Seireitei.
But now, trying to stay in the human world was a lot more of trouble than they expected. The arrancars have captured the Orihime girl and they gained her trust, one of the scariest things that could ever happen in Soul Society, especially that Aizen's found alive and dangerous...and they'd all die if they don't get her back immediately...but Aizen won't just give her in that easily, it'd be...WAR.
She stared at the leaf a bit more, then, decided to take it with her. Breathing in more proudly than she ever did. Proud to meet the golden leaf, yet humble for its fortune.
I never thought that things really don't go their way...that even a precious yet small thing like this can reach high ropes and see the world end to end. But, unable to look any further, it just imagined the things it would've seen if it was able to. And that's because it is contented with what it's got... Soifon thought over and over again.
Finally, she humbled herself to the highest point...her chin down yet straight.
Something I've never had since their deaths...
She smirked and ambled to the door, but before that she blurted out the words disturbing her.
"Hopeless...restless...cunning...brave...smart...yet...
Faithless..."
there it is...just thought of something creative...coz I prefer novel-like creations...
